I doubt it. Maybe some shop made 15 with that paint job? I've never heard of an OEM type x....

i guess they meant 14 of the 15 painted that way...
If you like the color...just get a paint match and do it yourself....

Nope apprently you guys don't understand that in Canada there were these Type-X's made......

There the same motor as the LS (B18B1?) But the catch is they come with exhaust, oem bodykit and wing and some kind of interior changes........

Pretty gay........the cars were made to sell to ricers...... oh ya the muffler on the car is a 3"incher........

I seriously doubt Honda would limit a car production run to 15. Thats gotta be a joke. I would beleive it if a dealership decided to do this though. No car company in their right mind would spend money to produce 15 cars for the masses.

not oem, closest thing would be a type-Rx, but those are jdm tegs with extra speakers, yellow recaro seats, and some extra bullpoo. Perfect car for n00bs who have just watched FnF.

I saw an Integra Limited edition up in Bellingham, WA. It was the same color, which I had never seen before. Paint looked factory, but there were no Type X stickers on it. Deffinately fake. Why would Honda even think of making a car called "TypeX", when it would be so comparable to the likes of Type R and sound so cheesy.

i doubt they have a special paint job, but there is a type x. basically dealers in canada attach an oem bodykit, exhuast tip, alloy rims, and a wing and sell it to young kids in order to bring in more profit. It is a way of getting them to sell faster, therefor the dealers make more money. They even slap on a sticker that says type x too. very ghey
